NRSS - The House of Pies

We followed the Cafe Lili sampler plate up with a trip to a Houston institution overlooked by Mr Walsh, The House of Pies. The Banana cream was good but tasted a little artificial. You have to applaud the use of full bananas though! That was the lady's choice. I went for the Bayoo Goo which they described as "A pecan crust with a layer of sweet cream cheese,then a layer of vanilla custard swirled with chocolate chunks and topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings". The slice I got was big enough to feed five but it was damn good and I cleared the plate. It's not as refined or as 'good' as a lot of the meals on Robb's list but I certainly enjoyed it. It's worth going for the atmosphere alone anyway, especially if you're not an American and sitting at a bar to be served pie and coffee is something that only happens in Twin Peaks.

At the end of the day I had:
eaten 11 / 100 dishes (12/100 including non-available dishes)
spent $105 (including tips)
travelled 116 miles (112 by car, 4 on foot)
